WORKING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE IN PETERBOROUGH
Chamber of Culture stimulus day: Collaborating with young people Wednesday 29th October 10am-3pm Peterborough Central Library, Broadway The Chamber of Culture stimulus days are intended to do just that… stimulate ideas for developing new and exciting arts activities in Peterborough. Each session is themed. First we explore and understand the theme through innovative speakers introducing examples of ground-breaking projects. Then, using these examples as our inspiration, we work together to develop ideas for arts activities that could happen in our city. Today’s theme is: Collaborating with young people and will explore how the arts sector can work with and for young people. This session is open to artists, community groups, young people…all those who have an interest in growing Peterborough’s creative sector. The idea is to bring people together from all arts disciplines and backgrounds, who may not have thought about working with each other previously, to ‘stimulate’ possible partnerships and new projects. Following the stimulus day, participants are encouraged to make their idea a reality by applying for support from the Peterborough Presents… Development Fund. The fund will provide up to £2000 of funding for projects that will help grow the city’s arts audiences.
